Whats wrong with the picom?
I was using dwm and everything was perfect. Then I decided to go back to bspwm and I configured it a bit but this problem started occurring. It's kinda annoying tho... Also I am using pijulius' fork but I tried original source and its all same. Sorry for poor English, thanks in advance

Rounded Corners for ALL Windows
I know i could use a compositor to achieve this effect, but the one i'm using (Pijulius' Picom) does not support rounded corners, and i don't want to change it, since it is the only one with really smooth and somewhat customizable animations

Rounded Corners on Pijulius Picom fork
I'd like to ask if it is possible to have rounded corners in pijulius' picom fork. I'm using it because of the incredibly smooth animations, but i can't get the rounded corners to work...

Building and Installing i3-gaps-rounded
I understand, but the picom fork i'm using, pijulius' one, does not. I'd still like to use this for the buttery smooth animations it has

What picom fork should I use?
I want my picom to have animations. I've found this fork of it, which some people say is really nice. Problem is, it seems to be quite outdated. I don't know if the fork this fork is forked from (now that's a mouthfull) supports the same animations, and I don't even know if that one is outdated compared to regular picom. Also neither of these is available on Arch's repos, nor AUR, which kinda puts me off since they wouldn't get automatically updated. What should I use? Thanks.

Also I took a census and zero founding members of NWA are "straight outta Picom". That's right, you heard it here first: Not even MC Ren is running Picom.

FPS drops when scrolling in monocle layout with Picom
Update: after reporting in picom GitHub repo this is temporarily solved by using --no-frame-pacing. Looks like a recent commit causes this. You can view the discussion here: https://github.com/yshui/picom/issues/1072

In Picom with the rounded-corners setting how do you apply alpha to the menu list?
It looks like this was identified and the repo corrected in Jan (https://github.com/yshui/picom/issues/808) but the NixOS package has not been updated since Nov.

I have two Linux computers which I use for gaming.... somehow the one with slightly inferior hardware gets significantly better performance. I'm trying to figure out why... any ideas?
If you have compositing you are likely using picom. You can check if it's running with ps -A | grep picom. I've never dealt with this issue as I don't really game on linux often, but I'm sure there's a solution somewhere in the github docs or issues. Worst case scenario you could always just kill the process with killall picom whenever you're about to game, and re-enable it with picom -b after. Do note though that currently running windows might bug out a bit when you kill/start the compositor.
